Additional quotes by Thomas Sturge Moore

Then, cleaving the grass, gazelles appear
(The gentler dolphins of kindlier waves)
With sensitive heads alert of ear;
Frail crowds that a delicate hearing saves.

For milkmaids and queens and gipsy-princesses
Dream and kiss blindfold or starve upon guesses.

A sheep in sheep's clothing.
